In some countries around the world, men and women are having babies late in life. What are the reasons? Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

There are many reasons influencing families to become

parents

later in the modern world. Some say that

this

is not a good trend while others argue that it is a new

lifestyle

and more adaptable to the modern world. my opinion stands closer to the former statement.

To begin

with, it is known that the new urban

lifestyle

differs in many ways from the traditional

one

. in the past,

one

of the

parents

(mostly women) were expected to be at home so it was easier to raise a toddler as

one

of the

parents

was there to take care of them. an arrangement which lost its value in the modern

lifestyle

as both

parents

are working in most countries nowadays. to continue, it is important to have in mind that adding a family member requires financial support which is harder because of the consumerist behaviour of citizens.

in other words

, before ,bringing a child to live

parents

should think about all the expenses they are going to have.

for example

a child with two working

parents

needs daycare and pre-education aside from all the nessecury expenses they have. as is said, having children late can have some demerits.

one

of them is the fact that as the

parents

are older there is a bigger age difference between them so they are coming from completely deferent backgrounds. to make it more tangible, we can talk about a study which showed that families with younger

parents

had more bonds as they could enjoy the same activities together and have more interactions.

On the other hand

, having babies later in life have many advantages as well.

one

of them is financial support. meaning that as the

parents

are older they achieve higher levels in their professional life and have more income so they can think of having extra expenses without the economic burden which young

parents

feel so they can spend more time taking care of their infant.

for instance

in a family where the

parents

are not junior staff and can manage to have a more flexible work time children can spend more time with their

parents

. In conclusion, the new urban

lifestyle

had led to many difficulties having a consequence of families having children later.

this

can have both pros and cons but it seems that in

this

new behaviour its assets are more tangible than the liabilities.
